But... Why does my post say gougères then?! Because, I didn't have the right flour!! I was so devastated, but I thought screw it, I need to make something in 2 hours or I will show up empty handed. And my friends will beat me (haha kidding). I started making the dough with olive oil (typically for pão de queijo) and normal flour, which reminded me of making cream puffs. And I thought, GOUGÈRES! They are like the French version of pão. Don't ask me who came up with cheesy breads first... I just like to eat them :P.
Anyway, instead of using butter, I used mostly olive oil and they turned out wonderfully. And I saved the day (sort of :\). These are like crack on a plate, covered in cheese. Do make them!!
Parmesan Gougères
adapted from foodandwine.commakes 35-40
1 cup whole milk
a little less than 1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1-1/4 cup flour
4 eggs
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (plus extra for sprinkling)
1/2 tbsp pepper
- Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper
- In a medium sauce pan, combine milk, oil, salt and butter and bring to a boil
- Dump in the flour when you see big bubbles popping and stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms. Adjust to low heat and stir until the dough dries out and pulls slightly away from the pan (3-5 mins)
- Remove from the heat and transfer to the kitchenaid mixing bowl to cool for 2 mins. I actually used my friend's arm strength so this can be totally done by hand. Just not my hands :D. Beat eggs one at a time super thoroughly before you add the next one. The dough should come together nice, yellow and thick. (like so thick, your arms ache from beating it)
- Stir in the shredded cheese and pepper
- Transfer dough into a pastry bag with a 1/2" round tip and pipe 2" diameter mounds onto the prepared baking sheets. With a wet finger, press down the tops lightly so they are flat and the tops don't burn
- Sprinkle with the extra cheese and bake for 15-20 mins or until puffed and golden brown
- Serve hot or warm
